So I've done quite a bit of research and I'm building a new PC for my wife for her school (and for some light gaming by me). I've already got my own gaming laptop (MSI GT70), so this isn't a replacement, but I think it should be fairly capable. I've been out of the PC building game for 10 years, so if anyone has any comments I'd really appreciate it.

Case: Thermaltake Soprano
Power: Antec HCG-520M ATX12V/EPS12V 520W Continuous (Bronze cert)
Mobo: MSI 970A-G43
CPU: AMD FX-6300
RAM: Corsair XMS 2x4GB DDR3 1600
Video: MSI N660 TF (GTX660 2GB DDR5)
HDD: WD Green WD10EZRX 1TB
Optical: ASUS DRW-24B1ST (for OS install only)
OS: Windows 8.1 (May go with 7...They're the same price)
